Chapter 190 Oh my god, Yuan...Wenhua!
When Xu Chunlin came down from the official road and turned into a small path, he suddenly pulled the reins and stopped moving forward.
Because several huge rocks in front were piled together, blocking the way.
According to common sense, this path should be passed by people, and it is impossible for a few huge rocks to appear out of nowhere.
Xu Chunlin's eyes lit up.
Did someone put this here on purpose?
Sure enough, more than a dozen men jumped out from the bushes and surrounded Xu Chunlin and his companions.
The leader was a fierce man with a burly build, a scar on his face, two axes in his hands, and a hideous look.
"Boss, this kid is wearing brocade clothes, has delicate skin and tender flesh, and rides a BMW. He looks like a nobleman, so he must have some money."
"Hey, how much money can this make? It's not as fun as robbing a caravan. The last time I did it, I was very happy for several months."
"Boss, when will you take us to do something again?"
This group of gangsters surrounded Xu Chunlin and his companions without any scruples. Judging from their appearance, it seemed that they treated Xu Chunlin as a fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered at will.
After all, a young man, an old man, and a... ?
These bandits surrounded the young eunuch and kept looking at him with their eyes wide open. The young eunuch's androgynous appearance was really too attractive.
"Is this person a man or a woman?"
A silly-looking man scratched his head.
"Who cares? Whether it's a boy or a girl, just look at this little thing, it's so smooth and shiny, otherwise it's still a plaything for the children of the nobility!"
"I say, the money is here, after the guys have their fun, we can sell it to the brothel."
"Hey hey hey!"
Xu Chunlin sat on the horse, looking at them expressionlessly, with no emotion in his heart, and even felt like laughing.
From their conversation, Xu Chunlin obtained two useful pieces of information: this group of people were repeat offenders, but it seemed that they had almost spent all the stolen money.
He glanced around and finally stopped at the leader of the gang. Listening to their conversation, he couldn't help but feel sympathy on his face.
Tsk tsk tsk, talking about these things in front of a great immortal, how can you still survive?
To these robbers, Xu Chunlin looked like he was completely frightened.
"Boy, now that you've seen me, why don't you get off the horse? I won't be so polite when I ask you to get off later."
"Why are you being polite to this kid? In my opinion, I'd rather just chop him up with a knife and take off all the valuables from him. That would be the cleanest and most efficient way."
"Tie him up. This boy is handsome and has the appearance of a natural gigolo. If he is sold to a brothel, he will surely fetch a good price."
Finally, the bandit leader spoke and called out to his men.
After saying this, Xu Chunlin was stunned for a moment.
This is so bold!
Just as the bandit took out the lasso and was about to put it on Xu Chunlin, a deep shout came from a distance.
"stop!"
Xu Chunlin looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure appear at the end of the road. He was dressed like a ranger, wearing half-tattered clothes, puffy pants, a bamboo hat on his head, and carrying a wooden sword on his back. He was walking slowly towards them from afar.
"You have accomplices? Hehe, we can catch them all in one fell swoop!"
"Something's wrong. That guy is not that simple. He looks like an expert."
"So what if he's an expert? Can he be a match for more than a dozen of us?"
"Kid, stop, if you keep going forward, you might lose your life!"
"I told you to stop, did you hear me?"
Seeing the people approaching step by step, the gangsters became restless.
Unlike Xu Chunlin who was powerless, the first impression given by the person in front of him was that of a peerless master!
If these people knew one word, you would describe it clearly: pretentious!
The swordsman ignored them, stretched out his right index finger, and pushed his hat down slightly.
In the imagination of the Wooden Sword Ranger, the preview of what will happen next should be like this:
(When he was still several hundred steps away from the bandits, he suddenly quickened his pace, and within a few breaths, he had rushed into the crowd of bandits.
Zheng!
This is the sound of a sword being unsheathed.
With a flash of the wooden sword, most of the bandits were killed at the same time.
The sword was extremely fast, so fast that the group of bandits in front of him couldn't react at all.
"Escape, escape!"
The bandits who had luckily survived reacted with their fears of death, were almost incontinent with fear, and fled in panic.
The bandit leader reacted even faster. He rode a horse, whipped the horse wildly, and rode away, instantly ahead of all the surviving bandits.
"Boss, take me with you. Didn't you say we are brothers?"
"Boss, save me."
The bandit leader had a mocking look on his face and left without looking back.
Brother, isn’t it just for selling?
If his brother doesn't block the knife, how can he have a chance to survive?
Soon, the shouting stopped.
The swordsman was extremely fast, like a butterfly flying through flowers. After a few twists and turns, he had killed several fleeing bandits.
The bandit leader took advantage of this opportunity, rode into the woods on horseback, and disappeared.
Only clouds of dust and smoke remain.
The swordsman put away his sword and stood, looking into the distance, shaking his head, as if with regret.
"No need to thank me, this is what we, the knights, should do." He pulled his hat down a little more, as if he didn't want to reveal his true face.
Actually:
(Before the Wooden Sword Ranger could take a few steps forward, he was surrounded by these people and beaten up miserably.
The wooden sword ranger protected his head and fought back: "Stop it, I don't want to fight you, do you know? Don't force me to do it, don't force me to do it!"
It was obvious that this set of movements of squatting with the head in the hands had been practiced countless times. At any rate, Xu Chunlin looked very skilled at it, and it seemed that he must have experienced it a lot.
The gangster laughed and mocked: "I kicked you, so what? You fought back? What kind of knight-errant is this? You even carry a wooden sword on your back. Your crotch is not tied properly, so you are exposed!")
Xu Chunlin blinked and looked at him without blinking.
Where did this pretentious guy come from? He has no ability but tries to act like a hero and comes to me to show off?
Xu Chunlin's eyes twitched and his face turned black, but he couldn't really watch him being beaten to death.
In fact, Xu Chunlin had already recognized the identity of the wooden sword ranger. After all, his shabby outfit was too easy to recognize, especially the wooden sword.
In the future, Wen Hua, the righteous man of the Spring and Autumn Period, is Xu Fengnian's life and death brother. He is a humble knight who carries a wooden sword and travels around the world. He meets Xu Fengnian on his three thousand miles journey and plays and laughs with Lao Huang and Miss Li.
Later, he met Xu Fengnian again outside the city of Xiangfan. He refused Xu Fengnian's offer to introduce him to Li Chungang in order to focus on practicing his own kendo.
Because he was valued by the book reader Huang Longshi, knowing that his original destiny was to be the world's number one swordsman, he made plans, and was taught two swords by the strange man Sui Xiegu.
He went to the capital to compete in swordplay, and won three draws in a row, earning him the name Wen Busheng. He tied with the Tangxi sword master Lu Baijie and became famous overnight. Huang Sanjia threatened Wen Hua to kill Xu Fengnian by using the woman Wen Hua loved, Li Baishi, who was both a beautiful woman and a swordsman, and the favor she had given him.
After Wen Hua learned of Huang Sanjia's conspiracy, he was unwilling to assassinate his brother, so he gave up his martial arts, cut off one of his arms and one of his legs, abandoned his beloved woman and the sword that would have the potential to make him a land immortal, and left the world with his sword.
Wen Hua is the most chivalrous person in Xuezhong. Although he is lazy and a scoundrel, he has ambitions and values friendship. He is a true child of the world.
Wen Busheng, who had never won in his life, defeated Huang Longshi, who had never lost in his life.
I exchange my hands and feet for my hands and feet, and dare to laugh at Huanglong for being a coward.
Later, he married a gentle woman named Liu in his hometown. His fellow townsman included Wang Mingyin's wife and children.
But who could have imagined that Wen Busheng would become a knight who would flee in fear when faced with bandits.
Xu Chunlin smiled and nodded, signaling the young eunuch to kill the bandits and relieve Wen Hua's embarrassment. The young eunuch's figure turned into thousands of phantoms and flashed by. With a touch of his fingertips, in the blink of an eye, a faint scar appeared on the necks of these bandits.
After a while, the bandits gradually realized that something was wrong. They covered their necks which were bleeding profusely and died in agony.
It was simply because the young eunuch acted too quickly. His fingertips cut their necks, and the flesh and veins glued together again, leaving the wounds no time to react.
Wen Hua was still wondering why these people stopped beating him. He opened his eyes and saw these gangsters surrounding him like a flower in the center. They were lying on the ground, already dead.
Wen Hua then stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, scratched his crotch, straightened his hat, and coughed a few times without any embarrassment on his face.
"Everything is settled, huh?"
Wen Hua doubted himself and said, "Have I reached the point where I can defeat a sword without a sword?"
Xu Chunlin stared at Wen Hua speechlessly.
Seeing Xu Chunlin looking at him with such "admiration", Wen Hua scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
"It's nothing, you're still young. As long as you work harder on your swordsmanship, I believe you'll be able to do it in the future."
Xu Chunlin raised his eyebrows and remained silent.
"Alas, it's a pity that my swordsmanship is only at a low level, otherwise they would have no chance to fight back!" Wen Hua sighed lightly, seeming unsatisfied.
Xu Chunlin smiled, completely defeated by Wen Hua's shamelessness. He could only say that he was worthy of being able to hang out with Xu Fengnian. They were like-minded and shameless enough.
Wen Hua waved his hand, "Okay, I'll go first. The road ahead is long, and we'll meet again if we're destined to. See you later..."
He stopped talking halfway.
With a clanging sound, the sword case trembled, the ant was unsheathed, and it flew into the air, like a meteor falling to the ground, tearing the sky apart.
The sword energy was rampant, and the silver light broke through the air, as if it had cut a crack in the sky.
This sword froze the fourteen states and blinded the swordsman's eyes.
In a moment, the sword light flowed, flew back, the long sword was sheathed, and everything returned to silence.
A strand of hair fell in front of Wen Hua's eyes.
Wen Hua's eyes widened in astonishment. He looked up at the sky, dazed. He turned around with difficulty, as if he wanted to look at Xu Chunlin again.
"You're not bad."
Xu Chunlin dismounted, patted him on the shoulder, and looked at him with admiration. To Wen Hua, he couldn't tell whether his words were sincere or false.
In fact, Xu Chunlin really had no intention of mocking Wen Hua. After all, he knew Wen Hua's potential and talent in kendo.
Wen Hua's face suddenly turned red, and he felt ashamed and embarrassed.
"I………"
He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything as if he was choking. If he could escape underground, he would definitely bury himself in the ground and didn't want to see anyone.
It’s so embarrassing!
When he thought about what he had said, he felt so embarrassed that he almost dug his toes out.
Fortunately, Xu Chunlin was very magnanimous. Not only did he not care about it, but he also praised him. Being recognized by such a master was undoubtedly the greatest reward for his chivalrous behavior.
"Junior Wen Hua, nice to meet you... Senior!"
After calming down, he took off his hat, revealing his true face, and bowed respectfully to Xu Chunlin.
Xu Chunlin looked at the man in front of him intently. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, regular facial features, and was quite good-looking. He looked unruly but also somewhat handsome and childish, without any trace of vicissitudes of life. It should be that he has just started out in society.
Why does it seem like I'm not very smart?
"I am Li Taibai!"
Xu Chunlin nodded and responded: "You and I can just be friends as equals!"
"You are Li Taibai?!"
Wen Hua was surprised and couldn't stop looking at Xu Chunlin with excitement, as if he had met a fan of his idol.
He even wanted to reach out and pinch Xu Chunlin's face to see if it was real or not, but in the end Wen Hua forced himself to hold back.
Laugh a few times!
At a loss!
Is there anything more embarrassing than failing to act cool in front of your idol?
It's simply social death!
"Do you recognize me?" Xu Chunlin looked a little surprised and asked with a smile.
"Of course. Who in Liyang doesn't know the greatest poet of our time, Li Bai?"
Wen Hua recited with great emotion:
"The whale has not yet swallowed the sea, but the sword energy is already in full swing!"
"I have fought in battles over three thousand miles, and my sword has been as powerful as a million men!"
"The long whale's sword can travel eight hundred miles, and the falling geese can reach a thousand cities and fourteen states!"
"I have spent my whole life with a flute and a sword, and have been carrying the reputation of a madman for fifteen years!"
"I will sing alone for thousands of miles to welcome the snow, and I will carry a sword with me all my life!"
"A sword lights up the mountains, and the stars in the sky hang between the bulls!"
"I also float with a sword in my hand, stepping on the clouds and going wherever I want!"
"The light of the flower and the light of the sword are indistinguishable, all white is like a dragon running!"
.........
Wen Hua scratched his crotch, which looked quite indecent and pretentious, but he liked the sword poem that Xu Chunlin recited after he transformed into Li Bai, and he could not remember any other poems at all.
"Especially when you opened the Green Lotus with your sword on the Guangling River, stepped on the waves and killed the dragon, and killed a thousand whales in the East China Sea, the world praised you. After Li Chungang, there is another great romantic man, unrivaled in the world!"
"If there is a top poet among the thirteen poets of the Spring and Autumn Period, Li Bai would be the first, without any dispute. Of the ten talents of poetry in the world, he alone accounts for nine!"
"The energy comes out like a river tide, and the energy is collected and calmed. It comes like thunder and then stops like the clear light of the river and the sea!"
"Damn it, so domineering!" Wen Hua said with longing.
Xu Chunlin burst out laughing at this.
Since Tai'an City, Xu Chunlin has been traveling as Li Bai for half a year. During this period, he has naturally visited many places and left behind many poems.
At the beginning, he was called a poetry maniac!
When I was in high spirits, I wrote down the poems that shook the Five Mountains, and when the poems were finished, I smiled proudly over the Cangzhou!
I don’t hate the ancients for not seeing me, I hate the ancients for not seeing my madness. The ones who understand me are just a few of you!
Later, as he wrote more poems, others were unable to catch up with him. Faced with the thousands of rare poems in the world, he could only sigh in despair. Gradually, he gained the title of the Immortal Poet.
Because such a person is hard to find in the mortal world, his name can only be left in the fairy world!
In addition, he was able to wield the Green Lotus Sword Song with wild and boldness. His sword pressed down the Wu family sword tomb, and green lotuses blossomed all over the sword tomb. He acted without restraint. Like Li Chungang, he had the same surname as Li, so he also had the reputation of a sword immortal.
Talented people emerge in every generation, and each of them leads the trend for hundreds of years. In the eyes of everyone in the martial arts world today, Sword Immortal Li Bai has a tendency to compete with Sword God Li Chungang!
Therefore, it is understandable that Wen Hua felt like he was seeing his idol when he met Xu Chunlin.
Wen Hua: Have you really met such a big idol?
